_PROTOCOL_
Whereas an Agreement and Charter regarding the Prosecution of War
Criminals was signed in London on the 8th August 1945, in the English,
French, and Russian languages.
And whereas a discrepancy has been found to exist between the originals
of Article 6, paragraph (_c_), of the Charter in the Russian language,
on the one hand, and the originals in the English and French languages,
on the other, to wit, the semi-colon in Article 6, paragraph (_c_), of
the Charter between the words “war” and “or”, as carried in the English
and French texts, is a comma in the Russian text,
And whereas it is desired to rectify this discrepancy:
NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned, signatories of the said Agreement on
behalf of their respective Governments, duly authorized thereto, have
agreed that Article 6, paragraph (_c_), of the Charter in the Russian
text is correct, and that the meaning and intention of the Agreement
and Charter require that the said semi-colon in the English text should
be changed to a comma, and that the French text should be amended to
read as follows:
(_c_) LES CRIMES CONTRE L’HUMANITE: c’est à dire l’assassinat,
l’extermination, la réduction en esclavage, la déportation,
et tout autre acte inhumain commis contre toutes populations
civiles, avant ou pendant la guerre, ou bien les persécutions
pour des motifs politiques, raciaux, ou réligieux, lorsque
ces actes ou persécutions, qu’ils aient constitué ou non une
violation du droit interne du pays où ils ont été perpétrés, ont
été commis à la suite de tout crime rentrant dans la compétence
du Tribunal, ou en liaison avec ce crime.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Undersigned have signed the present Protocol.
DONE in quadruplicate in Berlin this 6th day of October, 1945, each in
English, French, and Russian, and each text to have equal authenticity.
For the Government of the United States of America
